The Mossos d'Esquadra police force arrested four men aged between 31 and 47 in Vinebre on March 7th following a theft in Móra la Nova.

The suspects used the siembra technique at a supermarket parking lot, where one person distracts the victim while another steals items from the car. Police intercepted the getaway vehicle on the C-12 highway.
Officers recovered a stolen bag containing a mobile phone and personal effects worth over 400 euros. The four detainees, who have more than 80 previous police records, appeared before a judge in Falset on March 8th.
